Is there a way to change the field size of the Introduction field of a submit
connection? I find there is additional information needed to aid users in
working with InfoPath forms (lot of old-school managers), and the field just
isn't large enough.

Any help is appreciated,

No there is not.

You can use code or another method is to embed the view in the email instead
and then you can have as much as you want.

What version of InfoPath are you using?

I'm using 2003. It is the standard currently approved by the IT folks.

Well then you are stuck with what you have.

Typically the intro should tell them they need to open the attached form and
then you can put lots of help and instructions in the form.
